I'm being a bit disingenuous since I live in Texas and Mexican Coke is not entirely uncommon here. I order them in Tejano restaurants now and again.
You live in Ohio?
Anyway, this track. My biggest problem with this thing is that it tries to be peppy but the horns are too flaccid and her voice too flat (vocoded or not) to accomplish that. Hell, in Sekidou wo Koetara both the horns and her voice have more liveliness and that's not really even the point of that song.
Say whatever else you will about the Sunny A-sides, but they had purpose and the intensity to match. I mean, I now find myself missing NIPPON and the afternoons NIPPON got stuck in my head. The post-Sunny singles...dull, dull, painfully dull.
